True Nature Retreat
Welcome to the True Nature 2025 retreat, a place where mindfulness, meditation and music merge to facilitate your own self-discovery and rejuvenation. This is a chance to tune in, relax, connect to new community and explore the healing power of sound.
What to Expect on Retreat
Wake up in nature to daily yoga and qigong, experience the power of deeper group meditations and self-awareness practices, and connect over delicious meals from Tash and Tom at Burbury Wholefoods. Enjoy afternoons to yourself to explore the stunning private nature trails at Wybalena or take a dip in the mineral pool, relax in the infrared sauna or test your mental focus with an ice bath. This year, live music with our friends – brilliant local Byron musicians (to be announced) – will feature in our daily program, culminating in a special ‘Soiree’ on Sunday night.
The Location
Wybalena Organic Farm is a purpose built retreat venue set on 170 acres amongst serene countryside and untouched bushland in the Byron Hinterland – in an area known as ‘The Pocket’ – 40 minutes south of the Gold Coast airport. Enjoy exclusive access to the main house, a large architecturally designed farm house with kitchen, stunning 22 seat timber dining table, cosy loungeroom with a fireplace and bean bag area to relax, plus air conditioning for comfort. Large glass windows showcase beautiful country views and wrap around verandas that flow onto the magnesium pool, infrared sauna and outdoor firepit. There is a purpose-build yoga studio for group sessions, yoga and meditation, as well as access to your very own private nature trails that take your through rainforest and rolling hinterland. Enjoy exploring the trails in your afternoon free time, or take a refreshing swim in the creek or dam and pick the fresh fruit growing on the trees around the farm as you explore.
The Accommodation
There are four types of beautiful farm style accommodation at Wybalena Farm with a combination of private and shared rooms, and private and shared bathrooms. There is the main house which has four deluxe king and queen bedrooms; four Scandinavian-inspired, oak floored cabins with two bedrooms in each and stunning views from your own private balcony, as well as four private garden rooms surrounded by lush gardens each with own entrance, double bed and ensuite. Finally, there are also three twin-share rooms with shared bathrooms in the guest suite adjoining the house for a more economical option.
